VISION
"A
world where equity is at the root of a dynamic harmony
between people and nature, as well as among peoples.
A world of diversity, productivity and integrity of
natural systems. A world in which production and consumption

is intertwined with biological diversity and both generate
abundant livelihoods opportunities."

Poverty
and Conservation
Landscapes, People and Power
R.J.Fisher
et al.
High
levels of rural poverty in many of the world's most
biodiverse regions makes it an ethical and practical
imperative to find more equitable and realistic ways
of achieving conservation. Livelihoods of the rural
poor and options for the conservation and sustainable
use of biological diversity are so intimately entwined
that they are better addressed through an integrated
approach irresprective if the primary motivation is
one of development or one of conservation.
